hello, i'm using node / flow suggested by [https://github.com/phyunsj/node-red-dashboard-login](https://github.com/phyunsj/node-red-dashboard-login) to control login. Someone who has already used and can help me with a question. Is it possible to disable the side menu only on the login screen? How could you do that?

Yes, but this option permanently disables the side menu. I only need it to be disabled on the login screen.

Or you could use it that way. But I need to create a side menu manually. How can I do this?

what I did can help. To you to see: I have a dashboard pricipal, in which are displayed summarize widgets: meteo, camera, ...
In each widget (of this main dashboard) there is a button that refers to the complete function ("weather" for example). This opens another more complete page of the weather. a "dashboard" button sent to the main dashboard.
This is 2 buttons example :
```auto
[{"id":"abead591.774108","type":"ui_button","z":"fe2c7bc6.bd49c8","name":"gotoMETEO","group":"aa17a30d.2da05","order":1,"width":1,"height":1,"passthru":false,"label":"","tooltip":"","color":"","bgcolor":"","icon":"filter_drama","payload":"{\"tab\":\"meteo\"}","payloadType":"json","topic":"","x":70,"y":3250,"wires":[["75dabf9.f5a764"]]},{"id":"75dabf9.f5a764","type":"ui_ui_control","z":"fe2c7bc6.bd49c8","name":"ui control","x":380,"y":3270,"wires":[[]]},{"id":"b4910049.f3353","type":"ui_button","z":"fe2c7bc6.bd49c8","name":"METEOgotoDASH","group":"4b2be262.7a707c","order":5,"width":1,"height":1,"passthru":false,"label":"","tooltip":"","color":"","bgcolor":"","icon":"dashboard","payload":"{\"tab\":\"Dashboard\"}","payloadType":"json","topic":"","x":560,"y":3250,"wires":[["75dabf9.f5a764"]]},{"id":"aa17a30d.2da05","type":"ui_group","z":"","name":"Meteo","tab":"250de740.57ee78","order":1,"disp":true,"width":"6","collapse":true},{"id":"4b2be262.7a707c","type":"ui_group","z":"","name":"Temperature :","tab":"7159ac8e.e320c4","order":1,"disp":true,"width":"10","collapse":true},{"id":"250de740.57ee78","type":"ui_tab","z":"","name":"Dashboard","icon":"dashboard","order":1,"disabled":false,"hidden":false},{"id":"7159ac8e.e320c4","type":"ui_tab","z":"","name":"meteo","icon":"filter_drama","order":5,"disabled":false,"hidden":false}]
